Will Designer support Parquet files in the future for R/W?

[shivastrata]

Parquet has emerged as the most efficient columnar storage format, which is used quite a bit now in data science-machine learning applications. I did not see that Alteryx supports .parquet files. Will there be support in the future?

Alteryx currently doesn't support the .parquet file format, which is a popular file format used in data science and machine learning. It's possible that support for this file format may be added in the future, but there is no information on this yet. In the meantime, you can work with .parquet files by converting them to a different format that Alteryx does support, such as a CSV file or a database

@shivastrata I would submit it as an idea so that Alteryx can take a look at incorporating it in the future! Alteryx Designer Ideas - Alteryx Community
